Cursor

Add your deployed Backend MCP Server to Cursor via its MCP configuration; Cursor handles the OAuth2 flow.

MCP Cursor remote MCP OAuth2 mcpServers

Cursor reads remote MCP servers from your MCP configuration. Add the server (Cursor Settings → MCP), pointing at the service URL:

{
"mcpServers": {
"my-app": {
"url": "https://mcp.acme.com"
}
}
}

Cursor discovers the OAuth2 requirements from Backend MCP and walks you through authorization.

Once connected, ask the assistant to describe your data model or run a simple read, for example:

Prompt

What tables can you see? Use the MCP tools.

The assistant should call get-schema, then answer using your schema. If it reports an authorization error, re-run the authorization flow; if a query is denied, check that the enforced role has permission for it (see Roles & permissions).
